A soft pastel layout for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi there creative souls.

I'm here today to share my latest design for 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Friends"

For this layout, I wanted to steer away from my usual bright colours, and have a go at a more pastel colour palette.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

*NEW* "6" Floral Cluster Border"

"Lattice Leaves"

"Friends Loopy Font Title"

"Mini Branches"

"Polaroid Frames"

I firstly coated ALL pieces with white gesso.

I absolutely LOVE that NEW 6"Floral Cluster Border.

I couldn't wait to use it.

I coloured each flower individually with watercolour paint.

Once dry I added a few simple pen marks.

I just love the mottled look this technique creates.

Soft and lovely.

I did the same to the "Mini Branches"

I love the effect of the pen marks.

It gives them an arty/whimsical feel.

The "Polaroid Frame" was painted with a grey/silver watercolour and then swiped with white gesso.

I simply added white paint to the "Friends Loopy Title" and the "Lattice Leaves".

I wanted that fresh simplicity!

There you are, I hope you like this one.

It was fun to try something a little different.

I'll see you again soon.
